Mandarin 1kg
Our Mandarins are small, easy-peel citrus fruits with loose, fragrant skin and sweet, juicy segments that practically separate themselves. They're milder and less tangy than oranges, with a flavour that's nearly all sweetness, which makes them an easy grab-and-go fruit. Part of our Fresh Fruits range, each batch is selected for size, weight, and a glossy, unblemished peel.

Storage Guide
Mandarins keep well at room temperature for about a week, or up to two weeks in the fridge. Storing loosely rather than in a sealed bag helps prevent moisture build-up and mould.
How to Choose a Good Mandarin
Choose fruit that feels heavy for its size with glossy, slightly loose-fitting skin. Avoid mandarins with soft spots, mould, or skin that's overly wrinkled.
Seasonal Availability
Mandarins are typically at their best through the winter months.
